suggest的使用方法注意：
1. 要表示汉语的“建议做某事”，英语通经常使用suggest doing sth，而不能用
suggest to do sth；
2. “建议某人做某事”，英语习惯上不能说suggest sb to do sth，而说suggest sb’s [sb] doing sth；
3. 要表示向某人提出某情况，suggest后不能接双宾语，即不能用suggest sb sth，而通经常使用 suggest sth to sb。如：
- 他建议坐飞机去，可我觉得这样花费太大。
正：He suggested going by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
误：He suggested to go by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
- 他建议我们早点动身。
正：He suggested that we leave earlier.
误：He suggested us to leave earlier.
- 我向她提出一个解决这个问题的办法。
正：I suggested a way out to her.
误：I suggested her a way out.
4. 当然，我们也能够用后接that 从句的形式来表达此意思(注意谓语用“should+动词原形”这种虚拟语气形式)。如：
I suggest that we(should) have lunch right now. 我建议我们如今就吃午饭。
比較下面同义表达：
他建议他们在没有听到事实真相之前什么都别说。
正：He suggested not saying anything till they heard the facts.
正：He suggested saying nothing about it till they heard the facts.
正：He suggested that they shouldn’t say anything till they heard the facts.
5. suggest后接宾语从句时，从谓语既可用陈述语气，也可用虚拟语气，其差别与 suggest所表示的意思有关，若suggest表示“建议”，则其后接的that 从句谓语通经常使用“(should)+动词原形”这种虚拟语气形式。若suggest表示“暗示”“意指”“表明”等义，则其后接的that 从句要用陈述语气。如：
She suggested that I(should) be the leader. 她提议由我来做领导人。
What he said suggestedthat he was a cheat. 他说的话表明他是个骗子。
Are you suggesting thatI’m not suited for the job? 你的意思是说我不适合做这工作?
注1：若当中的直接宾语比較复杂(比方是that从句)时，可考虑改用suggest to sb sth。如：
我向他建议我们应该用还有一种方式处理这个问题。
正：I suggested to him that we should tackle the problem another way.
误：I suggested him that we should tackle the problem another way.
注2：按英语习惯，suggest的派生名词suggestion也具有与其词根动词相似的使用方法，如当suggestion表示“建议”时，若其后接一个that引导的宾语从句，则该从句也习惯上要用“should+动词原形”这种虚拟语气。如：
The suggestion that shops should open on Sundays led to a heated discussion. 关于商店星期日也应该营业的提议，引起了激烈的争论。
There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team. 有一项建议是布朗应该离队。
